Ethereum developers postponed the Hoodi testnet launch after researchers uncovered a security risk involving gas rules that could lead to permanent recording of failed smart contract operations.
Ethereum developers delayed the Hoodi testnet activation due to a security risk, which may temporarily undermine confidence in the network's upgrade timeline.
Ethereum developers have officially canceled the scheduled Hoodi testnet activation following the discovery of a critical security vulnerability. Researchers identified a flaw in new gas rules that could allow smart contracts to permanently record failed operations, forcing an immediate halt to the deployment.
The activation was canceled because researchers identified a security risk where new gas rules could allow smart contracts to permanently record failed operations.
